Here’s some top tips from Conwy Property Management’s holiday home cleaners to help make your holiday home shine and create a good first impression for guests.

Kitchen

Polish all chrome: taps, kettles, toasters etc, if it’s shiny, make it sparkle.

Check all glassware and make sure it sparkles.

Check the inside of mugs and cups for tea stains, same goes for the teapot too!

Deep clean the oven and defrost the fridge, it goes without saying that ovens, microwaves and fridges should be clean and incorporated in the regular turnaround but every so often they may need some extra cleaning and also defrosting.

Clean inside kitchen cupboards and remove everything so you can give them a good wipe out.

If crockery is cracked or chipped, replace it.

Clean the front grills of extractor fans (kitchen and bathroom) as they gather dust between the slots.

Bath/shower rooms

There are plenty of opportunities to really make a bathroom shine so polish all the chrome (toilet roll holders, taps, towel rails etc), clean the mirrors and shower enclosures and make sure all the ceramic is dust and hair free.

Clean/wash shower curtains and remove limescale and stains, if you can’t get the stains out, replace them.

Replace silicone and mastic if it is marked with black mould.

Bedrooms

Wash pillow and mattress protectors to keep them fresh and stain free.

Hoover mattresses & high up areas such as the top of wardrobes and lamp shades, along with the lower level dust traps like under beds and dressing tables.

Wash duvets and pillows and replace when they have lost their bounce or become marked.

General cleaning

Clean all light bulbs to remove dust and hoover lamp shades. Double check all the bulbs are working!
